New 2016 Chevy Volt Rumored to Arrive Next Year with Different, But Not Dramatic Restyling

GM is getting ready to give its “Extended Range Electric Vehicle” or E-REV Chevrolet Volt a second shot in the market with the launch of a new model, reportedly coming next year.

The news comes from an unnamed industry source who told Edmunds that the second generation of Chevy’s plug-in hybrid will be introduced next year as a 2016MY, featuring a fresh, but not dramatically different styling, and a new front drive platform.

“It is different, but not drastically different,” the source told the news site. “Just really a bit of a styling change to it.”

There’s no mention of any powertrain changes. The current model shares the same basic propulsion system with the Cadillac ELR with a 1.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine powering a generator that recharges the lithium-ion batteries.
